v - t - e

We will be electing 6 moderators and 2 alternates via single transferable vote. The mods are the 1st-6th highest-ranked candidates of the STV vote. The alternates are the 7th and 8th highest-ranked candidates of the STV vote.

We would like to have at least 1 non-candidate OpenSTV reader. It's pretty easy -- you need only have 1 hour of free time on 14/15 January 2018.

Declined nominations[edit]

@Ikanreed I don't think I've got quite the right demeanor. And it looks like we have twice as many perfectly decent candidates as we need. Unless I'm forgetting that I detest some of the people above for some reason. ikanreed ^{🐐Bleat at me} 15:02, 2 January 2018 (UTC)
@LynnR I appreciate the nomination, but I don't think I have the time or energy to be a moderator. Σπριγγίνα (ομιλία) (συνεισφορές) @ 00:35, 26 December 2017 (UTC)
@GrammarCommie Sadly I am not ready to ~~lead the glorious revolution~~ become a moderator just yet. GrammarCommie (talk) 00:39, 26 December 2017 (UTC)

@Smerdis of Tlön I also appreciate the honor, but my health is erratic and I may have prolonged absences that make it seem imprudent for me to be in charge of anything. - Smerdis of Tlön, ^{LOAD "*", 8, 1.} 03:07, 27 December 2017 (UTC)
@S.H. DeLong I honestly have no interest whatsoever in being a moderator!!!S.H. DeLong (talk) 06:48, 27 December 2017 (UTC)
@RoninMacbeth Probably one of the worst choices for mod at the moment. RoninMacbeth (talk) 20:08, 27 December 2017 (UTC)
@David Gerard I'm hardly here any more, so shouldn't run for mod when I'm largely unavailable - David Gerard (talk) 14:31, 28 December 2017 (UTC)
